List of cactus species in Appendix I of the Washington Convention on Endangered Species

As the last cactus species to date, Sclerocactus nyensis has been protected by Appendix I since 2003.

The list of cacti species in Appendix I of the Washington Convention on Endangered Species contains all species and subspecies from the plant family of the cactus plants that are listed in Appendix I of the Washington Convention . The version of Appendix I, which has been in force since May 22, 2009, contains around 100 species and subspecies of the cactus family.

When the Washington Convention on Species Protection came into force on July 1, 1975, all cactus species were listed in Appendix II of the Convention. These species are considered to be threatened for existence from possible excessive trade. Only the species of the genera Pereskia , Quiabentia and Pereskiopsis are currently not protected by the agreement.

In addition, many species - including all species of the genera Ariocarpus , Discocactus , Pelecyphora , Strombocactus , Turbinicarpus and Uebelmannia - are additionally protected by being included in Appendix I. International trade in them is believed to pose a serious threat to the continued existence of these species. The trade in them is therefore largely prohibited between the member states of the Washington Convention on Endangered Species and requires approval.
